Age of Adventure

Jeff Diamond is an author from California. His book the "Age of Adventure" on its surface is a usual fantasy fable, but in reality is a morality play told in a humorous and satirical way. We have conducted an interview with Jeff about his book.

What are your influences and what motivated you to write your book "Age of Adventure"?

I grew up watching shows like the Outer Limits, Twilight Zone, Aesop's Fables; and reading books like Plato's Republic, and Fahrenheit 451, and I always enjoyed the morality play underpinning those stories. They showed me that writing can be noble and entertain at the same time. That shaped me as a writer, and led me to writing Age of Adventure.

How unique are the characters in your story?

Not very! But that's by design. I like to use standard genre tropes, sometimes to the point of comedic parody, to underscore that a setting and it's props are not as important as the story.

Hence the name: 'Castle Black'?

Exactly. Evil wizards might be great at magic, but maybe they suck at naming their lairs.

You also illustrate your own books. How long does that take?

About 3 to 5 months; making a finished book take anywhere from 4 months to a year to publish.

Who is your favorite character?

Besides the main protagonist, the banshee girl 'Blood Lily' because of how she evolves over time.
